Randy Orton says he’ll see mystery phone friend on WWE SmackDown
Since turning heel on Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton has been teasing an alliance with a mystery phone friend for weeks.
While hinting at a union with a member of another one of wrestling’s royal families, Orton has not yet discussed anything concrete on the caller’s identity. Recently, Orton shared an update on social media where he claimed that he would be seeing his mystery phone friend on the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown.
SmackDown is scheduled to take place on April 3rd, 2026, in Orton’s hometown of St.Louis, Missouri.
“Likewise, man. I appreciate everything you’ve been doing for me. Yeah, I think we are good to go. This Friday, right? I’d see you in St.Louis,” Orton said.
Ever since winning the 2026 Elimination Chamber and earning a shot at Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania 42, Orton has turned to his villainous gimmick. He has since then attacked Rhodes, Matt Cardona, and even his old tag-team partner, Jelly Roll.
